Bye bye school for a few weeks, and after today, bye bye work for me for a few days too, hurray! I made notebooks for Miss Little Legs' lovely teachers- this one was a favourite.

I think it's the colours, so bright and summery.

The Lavinia fairy is stamped twice and cut out so that she pops up a bit from the background. I indulged in one of my most-used techniques round the edges- stamping in a lighter colour, then overlaying with black. It gives the border depth.

It's a fab Anything Goes challenge at That Craft Place this fortnight. That's an easy one, right?

I made a cover for a little concertina book. I have NO idea what's going in the book, but I love the cover!

The Mad Hatter is a stamp from Octopode, and the funky flowers are Ditzie Design Digis. There's a background stamp honeycomb wire in there from That Craft Place as well as some fab gold skeleton leaves. It's well worth a pop over to see what they have in stock!

It's a little sheer gift bag/pouch, and I've photographed it with white card in the middle so that you can see the design-I used a favourite Lavinia stamp and lots of stickles glitter :) The bag is a lovely soft peachy cream colour, so I went for a greyish lavender which hasn't really come out on the photo :(
